How can I know when to enable it by default? I need to know for every platform that Emacs might be running on, and this might even depend on your settings for the menu font and the locale. The interface that has been proposed is defined so as to make complete informatoin available about what is or isn't supported. That makes it so complex to implement--to complex to be considered for now, and undesirable even for later. AUCTeX needs *some* information. Could it be satisfied with less? What is the minimum, simplest, information that could be enough?
